4.4.4 mysqlbug — Generate Bug Report

This program enables you to generate a bug report and send it to
Oracle Corporation. It is a shell script and runs on Unix.

The normal way to report bugs is to visit
http://bugs.mysql.com/, which is the address for
our bugs database. This database is public and can be browsed
and searched by anyone. If you log in to the system, you can
enter new reports. If you have no Web access, you can generate a
bug report by using the mysqlbug script.

mysqlbug helps you generate a report by
determining much of the following information automatically, but
if something important is missing, please include it with your
message. mysqlbug can be found in the
scripts directory (source distribution) and
in the bin directory under your MySQL
installation directory (binary distribution).

The script will place you in an editor with a copy of the report
to be sent. Edit the lines near the beginning that indicate the
nature of the problem. Then write the file to save your changes,
quit the editor, and mysqlbug will send the
report by email.

In the header of that script is the actual "configure" statement that has been used to produce your version of that server with all options. If you want to verify what has been compiled in or which pathnames have been set to what defaults, this is a good place to look.
